*** FCA Huddle Recap *** Irvine High School


    Good Evening FCA Families!!
Merry Christmas!  We wanted to send you a quick recap from our last huddle of 2011.  God has been so good this year and it has been awesome to see how He has grown the FCA ministry at Irvine High School.

Last Thursday,  our guest speaker was Egypt McKee.  Egypt always captures the students attention with his humorous stories, but more importantly he is able to share a powerful message relating to identity issues, respect, and the importance of making right choices that matter.

I had Trent Williams, one of our FCA student leaders, write a short recap of our huddle ...
"This week Egypt McKee spoke a very powerful message to Irvine High students. His message to everyone was about "Perspective" and how many teens build fronts to protect their inner feelings. Egypt said one phrase that stuck out in my mind, "Perspective helps you see what's actually there rather than what you want to see." He really spoke to the student that attended. His ability to convey a strong message, while keeping the audience intrigued was so powerful and amazing. Many student could relate to the message, and hopefully Egypt was able to change their lives, turn them to Christ, and change their perspective on life. We are so blessed that Egypt had the time to return this year."
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
Our Pizza sponsor for this huddle was the Searl Family.   Their donations helped us provide 30 pizzas!!

Baked Goods were lovingly prepared by the Kenney family.

Water bottles were provided by the Johnson and Garmon families.

Our amazing sound system is provided by the Alayra family.

Thank you, also to the moms who rolled up their sleeves during their lunch break to help serve water and pizza. We are so grateful for your help as this ministry continues to expand.

As you can see this club is growing and will only stay afloat with all of our help!    If you are able, in these tough times, to donate financially, please send a check made to IHS Athletic Boosters-FCA to:  Jodi Nordstrom, 9 Redrock, Irvine, Ca. 92604.  
(Your donations are tax deductible!!) 
THANK YOU PARENTS for your support!!!    Attached are some fun pictures from the day!

Our next Huddle is not until January 19th !!!
Blessings.......

FCA Huddle Re-cap Egypt McKee - PICTURES/ HUDDLE TOMORROW- BRITT LANGDON SPEAKER

Dearest FCA Parents,

We hope this email finds you all well as we approach the last huddle of
2011. Please encourage your student to attend tomorrow's huddle as former
NHS student Britt Langdon will be our guest speaker.  Britt is currently a
Junior attending Seattle Pacific University on a soccer scholarship.  She
plans to share how her faith has gotten her through two torn ACL's and a
Mission's trip she took to Africa last Christmas.  You do not want your
student to miss Britt's inspiring testimony!!

Also, we have attached picture's from our last huddle as guest speaker Egypt
McKee held our NHS students attention with humorous stories relating to
identity issues, respect, and the importance of making right choices that
matter.  Egypt's engaging message prompted parents in attendance to invite
Egypt back to hopefully speak at another NHS event possibly before Winter
Formal. Parents, please be in prayer about this opportunity.

Lastly, if you are able to serve, donate baked goods or bottled water please
be in the gym by 11:40.  If you feel led to donate toward pizza please send
you donations to Monica Younger at 26 Rincon 92620.  Please make checks
